#7  Tax Uprising?
Can we call it the whiskey rebellion?
And can we drink whiskey while we do it?

#6  Long time past for a tax "uprising".

Little hard to organize with nearly half the population not paying income tax and getting some sort of kickback subsidy.

" A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

* From bondage to spiritual faith;
* From spiritual faith to great courage;
* From courage to liberty;
* From liberty to abundance;
* From abundance to complacency;
* From complacency to apathy;
* From apathy to dependence;
* From dependence back into bondage."

ascribed to Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee

#3  Most of the individuals mentioned seem to be irrelevant to the topic, which is conflict of interest. And whatever personal conflict of interest is there, it pales in comparison to having the Democratic Party in control of the government.
